Mac Air Hardrive bust after 20 months

I got a MacBook Air in October of 2014. Since then, I was using it and always close after use. I went to turn on my Mac, and it does not turn on. So I went to an Apple store and they said that my Hardrive was broken (remember only 20 months of use) and that it would cost at least $1,000 to repair. Any other use Air have this problem? Oddly, the cost of the repairs is birtually the cost of a new.

Same problem, very annoying and expensive!

Did this experiment with 3 computers HP laptop just out of warranty and decided to change to Apple. I bought 3 Macs in the last 2 years, now I'm very worried - is 18 month life can I expect from a Mac?

    The same thing happened to me! What happens to Apple products! I can't afford to replace them every 12 months, especially when it costs thousands!

    If you can't get the iMac began and ongoing implementation, you will not be able to use the target disk Mode:

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201462

    Then the option is to take the iMac HARD drive, install it in an enclosed, and connect the HARD drive to the MBA via the USB port.  If the HARD drive is recognized, you can copy the data out of it.

  • Satellite A300 - after several months, it became noisy

    Hi all!

    I have a problem with my Satellite A300. The cooling fan is not functioning effectively. The fan runs almost constantly, even if the PC in standby, when I do nothing on computer.
    I cleaned the fan holes and ventilate the air, so it is very clean. I checked the cooling modules in the Toshiba Power Saver, as well as in the ATI PowerPlay.
    All settings are OK...

    The question is, why my Toshiba works fine, when I just bought it, but after several months, it has become a noisy machine? It was very very portable and fan worked perfectly...

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hello!

    In your case I would use compressed air jet on the underside and on the left side of the laptop to make sure that blow you the dust from the cooling fans.

    After cleaning your laptop, you should look into the Vista power management. Here you can change the cooling method and choose another option, for example optimized battery.

    Maximum cooling performance method means that your CPU can run on the highest speed and so it needs more cooling.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A110 PSABOE: after 9 months of use of overheating

    I have an A110 PSABOE who was very quiet during the first 9 months of use. It is now extremely noisy due to the fans, but also extremely hot.
    The problem is getting worse and my laptop cuts now after an hour or two due to overheating. Everyone knows this?

    Does anyone have a suggestion as to what might help?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Lindsey

    Maybe someone could be scared to see this issue for the first time, but to be honest it s not unusual after 9 months of use of the laptop.

    Fans may not turn with a maximum yield due to dust and debris inside the laptop.
    Usually the cooling modules will have to be cleaned from time to time to avoid these overheating problems.

    So now you ask how to clean the fans? ;)
    Well, you could buy and professional tool like a jet of compressed air and may attempt to blow through the fans.
    Generally, it should help.
    If this isn't the case, I recommend strongly to contact and laptop technician who could help you clean the cooling professionally modules.

    Bye and good luck

    How can I copy and paste my mac air photos for a pen drive? As his total 1.3 GB, its impossible to send these fotos by electronic to my friend... Please advise.

    In Photos, select the images you want to put on the external device.

    Photos-> file-> export, and then select the external device as your destination for export.

    You can select an album (or albums) to export and the content of the album is written to the specified destination folder.

    NOTE: You can also get a Dropbox.com account, which includes 2 GB of free storage, and then export the images you want to share in the Dropbox--> Public folder and then send a link to your friends.

  • Photo very slow download on iCloud drive, Mac Air 2009, El Capitan

    I hope someone can help... I installed El Capitan on my Mac Air since end 2009 and since improved Air and iPads to iCloud by car. Are my approximately 9000 pictures on Mac Air download at a speed of max 50 per hour. Also I don't see any files or folders in the Finder/iCloud drive. Something clearly happened because my network has significantly slowed down. Is this normal?

    Thanks in advance!

    You synchronize these photos with your iCloud photo library?

    If so, you won't see them in your iCloud drive. The library and iCloud drive are 2 separate areas.

    Don't you have optimize activated? It takes much more time for a large library like yours.

    Your download speed depends on your wifi. It is generally not as fast for most users as the download speed.

  • The applications listed under Launchpad, is there a way I can delete the ones I don't use on my MAC Air?

    The applications listed under Launchpad, is there a way I can delete the ones I don't use on my MAC Air? I hope that I can free up space.

    Start the LaunchPad and hold the option key. The icons will start to shake and an X will appear in the upper corner of some but not all. Click the X to remove the application. Programs that have an X are only purchased/downloaded from the App Store. Integrated programs in Mac OS (like Safari) or programs you have downloaded/purchased elsewhere will not be a X. You should not delete (or move) programs such as Safari and Mail (built-in programs) because the update from Apple guess they were be on your computer in their installation location. Weird things happen if they are moved or deleted.

    Programs you don't purchase/download from the App Store can be deleted without the help of the dashboard, but you must be careful about this. Third party programs can be installed in different ways: some come in disk images and are trained in your application forms. These can be moved without danger in the trash. Some are installed using an installation program, and these require a little care to remove. In some cases, they set up items in addition to the program and require a special uninstall program, but this is not true in all cases. I always do the note of programs using a Setup program, so I can make sure I have properly uninstall.
